SALAAM, Tanzania, March 8, 2013/ -- Al Yah Satellite Communications Company, Yahsat (http://www.yahsat.ae),
the Abu Dhabi based satellite operator, is offering new YahClick business
subscribers a free satellite modem and dish as well as free installation as
part of its commitment to deliver affordable, reliable and high speed internet
connectivity for businesses in Tanzania.
Running
only until stocks last, this special offer enables subscribers to benefit from
signing up to any YahClick Business service plan in Tanzania via YahClick
Service Partners Infinity. As part of the promotion, subscribers will only be
charged the monthly subscription fee and not for the equipment or installation,
a saving of up to $1100.
Launched
in late 2012, the YahClick service provides satellite broadband internet
connectivity to businesses, home users, government entities, and
non-governmental organisations, helping bridge the technological gap for
unserved and underserved communities.
“YahClick
has been received well in Tanzania and we are now in a position to offer new
business users free satellite equipment when they sign up to YahClick,
significantly reducing the cost of obtaining a highly reliable, high
performance broadband solution. Businesses have a lot to worry about, and good
quality, affordable broadband shouldn’t be one of these worries. YahClick is
designed to help drive regional economic development and empower individuals
and communities to achieve their dreams, regardless of their location,"
stated Shawkat Ahmed, Chief Commercial Officer, Yahsat.
In
Tanzania YahClick business subscription prices range from $154 excluding local
tax – for speeds ranging from one Megabit per second, up to 15 Megabits per
second, with free equipment and installation on all these business subscription
plans. In addition to subscription plans suitable for businesses, Infinity
offers a series of affordable YahClick service plans to address the needs of
home users at speeds up to 10 Megabits per second.
“For the
first time in Tanzania, small businesses and even home users can enjoy high
performance internet at prices they can afford. This is truly a technological
breakthrough. While satellite internet has been around in Africa for a long
time, it was always reserved for high end corporates and governments. Today,
YahClick broadband satellite internet brings even higher connectivity speeds to
the remote parts of the country and over the harshest terrains. YahClick
is a powerful broadband solution that will help users in a wide range of
industries benefit from improved digital communication, ensuring residents and
businesses access to 21st century technology that will power the country’s
economic development.” adds Ahmed.
Tanzania’s
internet infrastructure has developed significantly over the last decade,
absorbing newer and faster technologies; affordable satellite broadband
internet is the next step in bridging the digital divide. The introduction of
YahClick is designed to provide high speed reliable broadband internet to
everyone regardless of the reach of the current terrestrial infrastructure in
their location.
YahClick
is designed to provide satellite broadband internet to everyone and is set to
enable new business opportunities and connectivity to a wide range of
industries, NGOs, government, education organisations and home users throughout
its coverage area by providing reliable, high-bandwidth internet connectivity
to urban, rural and remote communities.
